Chamber Information

Chamber Ambassadors

Chamber Ambassadors are a special group of people who volunteer their time to help promote the Texarkana business community and support Chamber functions. Ambassadors are usually the most outgoing, pro-active employees in their company. They project a positive image for the company they represent as well as for the Chamber. Ambassadors perform a wide variety of duties in the Chamber, but their main function is to help promote the Chamber, welcome new Partners to the Chamber and make Chamber events successful and enjoyable for our Partners.


Why become a Chamber Ambassador?
Being a Chamber Ambassador puts you and your business in the spotlight! Ribbon cutting photos are printed on the Chamber's page in the Four States Living Magazine which is read by nearly 40,000 individuals each month. They are also hosted on the Chamber's Web site which receives thousands of hits each month. That gives your company free publicity as a supporter of new businesses coming to the region.

Ribbon cuttings and other Chamber events also provide a great opportunity for networking and a few minutes of fun with other leaders in the community. Remember, Chamber Ambassadors are often the first community representatives a new business owner meets, so it’s the perfect opportunity to make new business connections
